Rocket Languages Reviews

I can't comment on customer service I haven't needed that but in all other areas I think it deserves five stars. There are lots of different parts of each lesson and I'm surprised how fast I've been learning. It's a difficult language, I've learnt Spanish and French before and this is obviously totally different but it's presented in a way which isn't boring, I love the way you can keep recording your voice and listening it back, comparing it to native speakers. The only thing I would like is a bigger quiz so you can test you know absolutely everything on it before you move on. But that is a small thing. I'm very glad I bought it.

This website is very effective for people like me who wants to engage in foreign language. Lessons are comprehensive and in order :)

This is a very good tool for learning a new language. The lessons are detailed, but with enough repetition to ensure you understand before moving on to the next lesson and the audio is very clear. The follow up exercises are invaluable and a good way to reinforce what you have learned. An added bonus was the little insights to the cultural aspects of the people, as well as the language. I will be travelling to Japan 4 weeks after starting my Rocket course and am confident that, at the very least, I will be able to communicate on a base level, that is, have a full understanding of the basic greetings, introductions, pleasantries etc.
Thanks Rocket.

I found that I would prefer to see the written words as well while learning the pronunciation, i did not see this on the trial so i opted out

Unfortunately I am one of the Rocket Languages failures. I spent my first few months doing what I believed the course asked me to do -- one lesson per day with extra study. After 4 months I had finished the first level of Spanish. I could say hello to folks, order a simple meal in a restaurant -- check in to a hotel, etc., but when I met with my Spanish speaking friends I could not understand what they were saying . So following the recommended learning path was not working for me.

I also noted that the course admins reward points as an indication of learning. Yet, in my case, I could not see any relationship between points and my knowledge of the material. Also a glaring weakness is that one can earn points by repeatedly answering the same questions. I found that I was memorizing the answers to all of the questions. I then thought if I could present the materials to myself in a different way, I could learn the materials better. I began pulling down many of the lessons at one time -- taking them into a little program I developed that would then present the material to me in various ways. My hope in doing this is that by so doing, I would more effectively learn the materials.

Putting it simply, this program is lit! I consider it as one of the best tools to learn a foreign language effectively. You will notice the progress in no time. On top of that, you will have a lot of fun! The audio sessions are spot-on, fun and entertaining! This great program will teach you how to speak the target language - and learning won't feel like an obligation at all.

This is a great language program. I was committed to the free version for three weeks to try the program out. If I was able to hang on and learn from the few free training segments, I promised myself that I would purchase the first two French language levels. Yes, I did it, and no regrets,

I have tried other apps, this works the best for me. I really like the download/offline mode so I can practise without the internet. I am making good progress. Feliz aprendiendo, gracais.

Voice recognition is very variable with certain short words. eg un, deux trois. The rest of the numbers appear fine. How do you get better than 35% on a one word answer eg être?
Overall I think the programme is very good

The interactive audio lessons are really good. The subject matters cover everyday situations. There is a friendly and jovial rapport between the speakers which makes listening easy and amusing. You're learning by listening and also by reading the text of what is being discussed in English and German. It's the best way to learn a foreign language. I'd highly recommend it.
